How to create a brand identity built on brand architecture in Iran

COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE:

Packaging design is all about the art of customer conversion. Pharmaceutical packaging, however, is as much of a science as an art. Such packaging is subject to many regulatory challenges, as well as complex industry semantics.

Customers of pharmaceutical products interact with its packaging differently from that of off-the-shelf products because they are over-the-counter. This difference of interaction involves customers having to also interact with pharmacists. When creating packaging designs in Iran or anywhere, these interaction differences need to be understood and solved.

Our challenge, therefore, was to increase the likelihood of selection by creating a compelling brand identity with accompanying visual and verbal brand elements. Firstly, this new Iranian brand identity and brand architecture should conform to industry regulations. Secondly, it should beautifully adhere to the science, as well as the art of packaging design.

COMMUNICATION SOLUTION:

The Iranian pharmaceutical company, Medeen, have over twenty products. These products span across regular pharmaceutical, synthetic, herbal and complementary medicines. Knowing this, we suggested organizing brands into a brand architecture structure known as Endorsed Individual Brands. We did this by unifying the multiple sub-brands of Medeen — using a consistent visual brand identity while uniformly using the Medeen Pharma logo. The results would create a strong brand-presence — helping improve recognition while allowing brand equity to transfer from the more well-known products.
